Privacy Policies

Data Controller

The entity responsible for processing personal data collected through this website is Dinis & Carvalho Lda, headquartered in Funchal, Madeira. In the course of its business, Dinis & Carvalho may collaborate with carefully selected partners or service providers, always under the same standards of rigour and confidentiality.

Personal Data

Personal data refers to any information that allows a natural person to be identified, directly or indirectly. This includes, among other elements, a person's name, email address, phone number, or any other detail that, alone or in combination with other information, makes it possible to determine an individual's identity.

Consent

By submitting any form available on this website, you give your express and informed consent to the processing of the personal data provided, in accordance with the terms and purposes described in this Privacy Policy. This consent is freely given, specific and unambiguous, and may be withdrawn at any time.

Data Collection and Purpose

Dinis & Carvalho collects only the data strictly necessary to respond to each user's request - whether an enquiry, a visit booking, or another contact initiated directly by the user. All information is handled in strict confidence and used solely for the purpose that led to its collection.

Sharing with Third Parties

Dinis & Carvalho does not share, transfer, sell or otherwise disclose your personal data to third parties for commercial or any other purpose. The only exception arises from a binding legal obligation expressly set out in applicable legislation.

Data Security

Protecting your data is a priority for us. We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard user information against unauthorised access, accidental loss or improper disclosure. This website operates under HTTPS with an active SSL certificate, ensuring end-to-end encryption of all transmitted data. We do not knowingly collect information from individuals under 18 years of age.

Retention Period

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Once that period has elapsed, we will securely delete it - unless a specific legal obligation requires us to keep it for longer.

Marketing Communications

Dinis & Carvalho will not use your contact details to send promotional or marketing communications without your prior and explicit consent. Any message you receive from us will always be the result of a deliberate and voluntary choice on your part.
